Self harm 'o' clock?

[NobodysCupOf Tea]

I was just quite plainly wondering what time is the most common time for you to self harm?

Cus you when when you're on the VT homage thingy it says how many people are viewing it? Well the cutting and self harm section has more visitors in the evening.

For me it's definitely late at night, when I'm tired, upset, by myself in the dark. It's always late at night. But I've read people doing it in the middle of the day in restrooms?

So when is it THAT time of the day for you and why???

[moon_lit_angel]

In the evening because i work during the day and cant be away from my desk for to long :(

[anonymous53]

Any time really, during school, work, at night. whenever

[Blujay]

I would say I most commonly cut at about 8 o'clock PM. I usually cut then because that's when I shower, and that masks any noises I make. It's also easiest to clean up when I'm showering.

On the weekends I'll sometimes cut in the middle of the day because I'm usually busy in the evenings. Sometimes on weekdays if I'm not doing so hot I'll cut during lunch or escape to the restrooms during class... but yeah, most commonly I'm a night-timer.

[FullyAlive]

Most common in the evening/early morning but whenever really. I just tend to get more urges in the evening, more thinking time. :/

[NobodysCupOf Tea]

I get that. Time to think myself into it :P

[FullyAlive]

I get that. Time to think myself into it :P

Yeah and I have a really bad habit of intentionally triggering myself when I want it but don't need it.

Story of my life! Always do this :( thought it was just me

[georgiamay]

I get that. Time to think myself into it :P

I get that.

Mainly in the evening or the middle of the night or early hours of the morning, but I can do it at anytime really, it just depends.

[IlM'aime_xx]

mainly the night or early morning, sometimes just whenever im alone with too much time to think though

[ShatteredWings]

When I was cutting frequently, it was usually late, after 8. I love the night, but the night is also a bit triggering for me, and I prefer to be around people when the sun starts going down.

I have cut in school/during the day, but more often when that happens it's indicative of something serious going on.

[Syvelocin]

Nine or ten, maybe later. I have cut earlier as well, but that's usually when what triggers it is a fight or argument that has gotten me upset.

[rissa-_-]

when i use to abuse myself, it would be sometime when it gets dark. I get more depressed at night time than other times

[Blujay]

Yeah and I have a really bad habit of intentionally triggering myself when I want it but don't need it.

I confess I do this a lot, too. >_>

I think nighttime is when more people are alone, so it's less likely that others will notice that you're missing. You're also alone with your thoughts which can be scary for anyone...

[love is louder]

its normally in the middle of the night like 1am. i can usually fight off urges during the day but when i cant sleep i think fuck it.
i dont carry anything with me but sometimes its in the middle of the day
or before a job interview or a meeting with my support worker or really anything big that going to happen that i need to be calm for.

[Love.Hate]

Its normally evening/night. But if im really desparate i will do it whenever.

[Indecision]

Same. Usually from 8-10ish, on weekdays. On the weekend it's usually whenever I feel like it - if I do.

[wontletgo]

most of the time it was late evening/early morning (depending on when i went to sleep) as sometimes i couldn't really relax enough to sleep without doing it, so that kinda time frame has almost became a ritual as when to do it.

[bambino]

its usually in the evening because thats when I'm alone, won't be disturbed, get too much time to think things over like other people have said.
but when if I'm having a really bad patch I'll self harm when I wake up, at friends houses, at college in the toilets...just where ever. Which is pretty bad. But no-one realises luckily.

I try and surround myself with people. I get a bit sad thinking that eventually I'm going to have to learn how to be okay alone- because there are gonna be times I have to be on my own- and I need to trust myself not to do it.

[beag_amhain]

late at night, means i can sit in the quiet and think and am sure to be alone

[Fiction]

I do it when I have urges, although like most people are saying it's mostly late at night. Not so much anymore though since late at night was always when i was alone, and had no other way to deal with stuff other than cut. I don't tend to be alone so much nowadays though :)

I do it at school sometimes too, or quite often as soon as I get home from school if it's been a bad day.

There's no real set time that I self harm... just when it's possible and when I need it.

[Weeping]

Well.. When I self-harmed.. I usually did it in the evenings/nights.

Though in the end I was self-harming like;
when I woke up. when I was gonna go to school. when i came home. when i went to bed.
and usually some other times, and whenever I ate something.

Without cutting.. I wouldn't have been able to do anything.

[Kaius]

Evening or late at night. Early hours of the morning. But it depends on how the days gone

[Forest Rose]

It depends on several things for me, although it's almost never in the morning, usually in the evening or in the night. I've done it before in the afternoons, but the evening/night does seem to be the most common time for me.

[The Dudeh]

For me it's usually between 10-12 at night. I don't know why.

[LifeisLife]

I only cut once but I did it at night because the last few months and especially last 3 days had been really hard for me and I had no idea what to do anymore, I'm happy that I dont cut anymore but sometimes I still do make things look like accidents (just around other people) but I do them purposely....

[December]

Typically at night because that's when I'm the most alone with my thoughts and also run the least risk of getting caught. But if something happens or I'm feeling really bad I'll do it whenever.

[sarah newman]

I do it in the evening when I bath :)

[snowblinded]

Usually it would be any time from about 11 because i'm alone in my room in the dark. However, i have during the day and a few times at school but thats usually when something particularly bad has happened. Normally i can stop myself and keep myself busy until night time when i'm on my own with my thoughts...

[Magenta]

Usually when I'm in bed because it's the only time I can't get caught.

[Twistember]

Usually later at night when I've had a lot of thinking time.

[Charlotte93]

Mine is usualy after my parents go to bed, like u said, when im alone. I don't have much time durring the day for tings like that and i tend to cut when im lonly

[PoisonedRazorBlades]

On average, its late at night. Usually after midnight when everyone in my house is asleep. Though there as been times in the afternoon too. I used to after school, so about 4pm. I was always alone at these times. I tend to self harm when I know (consciously or subconsciously) that I won't be stopped by anybody.

[Infidelitas]

I get into the "Fuck my life" routine at about 10pm

[MadManWithaBox]

Anytime of the day really. Literally.
